Year End Newsletter 2010

The year 2010 was an intense experience and a landmark in our country’s colourful history. The 2010 Fifa Soccer World Cup stands out as the highlight of the year and with loud vuvuzela’s and colourful makarapa’s we have disproved sceptics who questioned our infrastructure and criticised our crime. We showcased our rich tapestry of cultures and displayed our country’s natural splendour. And we did it with passion - well done Mzanzi!

As we approach the well-earned builder’s holidays over the festive season, we would like to take the time to thank everybody for all their loyal support during this year. Many property developers were forced to face economic hardship by shutting their doors. Not only did Century Property Developments survive these trying times, but rather flourished within it - emerging with a market share that is stronger than ever! Record sales were achieved in Waterfall and numerous other developments were launched. Please feel free to take the time to read our year-end newsletter, knowing that we will be back next year with even bigger and more-ambitious projects.

Annual Waterfall Picnic

Sultry jazz music, gushing waterfalls and the perfect weather were some of the ingredients that made our riverside picnic a major success. On Saturday, 5 December 2009, purchasers of Waterfall Country Estate/Village shared a glimpse of their future lifestyle within the estate. Children were entertained by stilt walkers, face painters, candy floss and jumping castles whilst their parents dined in true picnic fashion. Each guest received a food hamper and blanket which they put to good use underneath the colossal branches of the ancient River Bushwillow trees that are common alongside the riverbanks. The cool sounds of the Jazz Assassins, a five piece old school jazz band, entertained guests with a playlist including old favourites such as Frank Sinatra and Michael Bublè. Guests used this occasion to become more familiar with their future neighbours whilst lounging the afternoon away in dappled sunlight... Click here to view images of the event.

Waterfall Country Estate Site Progress Report

With the gatehouse complex nearing its completion, interest in Waterfall Country Estate is soaring. On a daily basis, prospective clients arrive to witness the construction of South Africa’s largest and most prestigious residential development. To match the high quality infrastructure that is currently being installed, the Jukskei River is benefitting from a rehabilitation project. Ian Fife, acclaimed property journalist from the Financial Mail, dubbed Waterfall City as “the land of dreams”. It is now almost 4 years later with concepts and ideals being turned into reality. Graeme Bunyard, chief horticulturalist for Century Property Developments, and his team of green fingered experts have been dedicating their time and expertise to the rehabilitation of the Jukskei River embankments. As this well-known river cascades and meanders through Waterfall Country Estate, it is vital to respect its unique ecology and to rehabilitate over 70 years of debris. Since the embankments have been cleared of plastic and other rubble, we have witnessed the return of many bird species and small riverside animals.
